For our first day of spring, Jenna brought Gary Shteyngart’s sixth novel, Vera, or Faith into the studio.
A story of an anxious ten year old trying to keep it together as her family, friend and school life are in disarray. Set in a not-too distant future America; recognisable advances in AI and political control also affect Vera’s outer life.
Shteyngart wrote this book in just two months. It’s charmingly funny, sad and is a clear comment on the American Dream.
